When we do we receive Error Code 80072EFD. When looking into that error, it mentions that the update.microsoft.com (and others) needs to be placed into the firewall... which they have been. Disabled VIPRE and the Windows Firewall, restarted the wuauserv and renamed the softwaredistribution folder and still can't get Vista to update. All our XP machines are able to get to the update site without any problems. Any ideas? _____________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
